Divide by Zero Error

Hi Benny,

 

Here is a potential patch that will fix a divide by zero error.  There
are two ways of approaching this problem, and it's up to you how you
would like to approach it.  One way is to fix the initialization of
sd->ptime so that it is not set to zero.  The other is to check it every
time before it is used for division.  I went with the simpler approach
in this patch of checking at initialization time.  There are several
other areas where divide by zero errors can occur without proper
checking.  A thorough code review should be done to find them all.

Benny,

The following code in the function pjmedia_silence_det_set_params(...)
gave a divide by zero error:

    sd->min_signal_cnt = min_signal / sd->ptime;

    sd->min_silence_cnt = min_silence / sd->ptime;

    sd->recalc_cnt = recalc_time / sd->ptime;

 

I was experiencing other errors, but this code should be protected
against error conditions and should check the value of sd->ptime for
zero before performing the division operation.
